Resgate, Recuperação e Implantação de Sistemas Agroflorestais no Município de Rio Pardo, Minas Gerais
This project aims to widen the scope of work and income generation opportunities through the implementaiton and recuperation of agroforestry systems. Family subsistence will be strengthened and revitalization of the environment will be encouraged through training of the smallholders and commercialization of their products. A Rapid Participative Rural Diagnosis will be carried out with the goal of providing subsidies for intervention in the small-scale coffee plantations. Rescue and recovery of 15 ha of agroforestry systems in 15 different properties, and training of 30 smallholders on agroforestry system management will be carried out as well. This will enable the diversification and increase of the family production, having a positive impact on food security and on the quality of the coffee. The project further seeks to disseminate the experiences to other smallholders in the region.
